Application filed April 6, 1912.

Serial No. 688,896.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES L. WARREN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Jamaica, in the county of Queens, State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers;

and I do hereby declare the following to be A still further object of myinvention isto provide a garment hanger which may be readily attached toa wall or other suitable support and which will extend outwardly fromthe wall and thus hold the garments clear of the wall, and a stillfurther object of my invention is to provide a garment hanger of thecharacter described which will be extremely simple in construction andconsequently economical to manufacture.

With these and'other objects in view, my.

invention will be more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings which show a preferred embodiment of my device.

and then specifically pointed out in the claim which is attached to andforms a part of this application.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved device.Fig. 2 is a fragmentary section showing a detail in construction.

Referring more specifically to the drawings in which similar referencenumerals designate corresponding parts throughout, my garment hangerconsists primarily of a substantially rectangular shaped body member 10,preferably formed of wood, and a supporting member consisting of a stripof metal secured at one end to one end of the body member by means of ascrew 11. This strip extends upwardly a considerable distance above thebody member as shown at 12 and is then bent sharply downwardly,preferably at an angle of 45 degrees as shown at 13 and the free end ofthe strip is then bent toward the portion 12 at an angle ofsubstantially 90 degrees to the portion 13 as shown at 14, said endbeing firmly secured in a kerf formed in the upper face of the bodymember, said kerf being preferably inclined in the inner end of the bodymember at an angle of substantially 45 degrees. The portion 12 of thestrip is provided with a plurality of screw receiving perforations 15 bymeans of which the hanger may be secured to a wall or other suitablesupport in the position shown in Fig. 1, a wall being there shown indotted lines. Secured at spaced intervals along the lower face of thebody member and extending downwardly therefrom are a plurality of hooks16 having upwardly directed terminals 17, said hooks being adapted toreceive the garments or the customary hangers for holding garments.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have providedan extremely simple and effective form of garment hanger adapted toreceive a number of garments and to hold them clear of the wall and theother end portion being disposed against that end of the block in thedirection of which the kerf ranges, the end of the plate against the endof the block having a perforation and a fastening member passedtherethrough and into the block, said end portion of the plate above theblock having other perforations to receive securing means.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
